BH-Tht) Post, Monday, October 1984 Public Response in Election a Paradox w) 1 WE'LL GIVE YO DINNER AND THE I EST Ellen mJ Goodman OF THE EVENII TO YOURSELF are winners in the arms race. But we are thoroughly conflicted about the nature of the Soviet threat, how to negotiate with the or how to defend ourselves in the nuclear age. As agenda foundation President Dan Vankelovich said: "It's an enormous opportunity for what political leaders always look for, those concerns that haven't yet become an issue. It gives them a chance to take leadership." So far, the discussion about nuclear policy has gone on at two levels: the level of anxieties expressed by The DayAfteror Red Dawn, and the level of technological jargon spoken by the cruise and MX missile experts. In politics, it goes on from two sides.

Reagan talks tough (in the nicest possible way) and Mondale talks freeze. Reagan plays on fear of the Soviets, and Mondale on fear of Reagan. Many voters, anxious and uncertain, turn the dial to find some easy BOSTON About a year ago, I bought a T-shirt with a cartoon profile of a female Yuppie looking up at the sky in distress. She was crying out: "Nuclear Oh, No. There Goes My There was something in that line that got to me: the black humor, the irony of it But now when I see the T-shirt hanging in my locker, I wonder if it's the ultimate tag line on this peculiar election year.

This is a campaign of mysteries. The voters applaud Ronald Reagan's "leadership," even when they do not follow his lead on important questions. They agree with Walter Mon-dale's stand on many policy matters, but don't want him standing in the Oval Office. The most glaring example of this paradox has to do with war. With monotonous regularity, the public rates nuclear war as its No.

1 concern. A full one-half of Americans surveyed believe that nuclear war will happen in their lifetime. At the same time, most of the polls of this season have shown that the public is drive a better car to the holocaust? I don't think we are suffering from madness or that we've entirely lost the instinct for self-preservation. My sense is that voters simply can't grab onto the great, amorphous, No. 1 Worry we call "nuclear war." For a while, it looked as if the nuclear freeze would be the way to translate fear into political action.

It was and is a simple way of demanding, "No more." But supporting the freeze has become, as one advocate admits, "just another way of expressing anxiety." When a majority of delegates to the Republican National Convention simultaneously back a freeze and Ihe president who opposes it, the idea has lost some political meaning. When the Public Agenda Foundation looked into this gap between our private worries and our public politics, it found 'some consensus and some confusion. Americans are absolutely clear on the dangers of nuclear war, and totally reject the notion that it could be "limited" or "winnable." We even reject the notion that there Introducing Ctiuck Harold's Edy Dining Event: Your complete dinner eluding your choice of appetizers cfe of 10 entrees, beverage and desert Plus our own hornernade bread f( And. when you join us p.m. and 6:30 p.m.

1 negative fear of war is less important than the No. 1 positive an improved economy. Is this just proof of a national myopia captured by the author of my T-shirt? After all, 50 percent of Americans under 30, Reagan's largest group of supporters, believe that an all-out nuclear war is likely within 10 years.

Produced by Joe Roth. Directed by Andrew Davis. Rated Violence and some nudity and sex. i No Where, No Mall Cinema, Delray Twin, Beach By Kathryn Buxton Staff writer The makers of The Final Terror try to accomplish for wilderness camping what Jaws did for ocean swimming. About a group of forest rangers who take their girlfriends for a fun-filled weekend in the woods, the movie instead inspires in this reviewer a fear of low-budget horror films.

The forest rangers have two strange characters in their midst. One is the suspicious-looking guy who drives the bus. He warns the group that strange things have been going on in the woods. The other is a Vietnam War veteran-type who has some homicidal tendencies of his own. Both of them have something important to do with the plot, but the film never makes what that is quite clear.

Once the gang gets loose in the forest, someone, or something, starts killing them one by one with meat cleavers, pickaxes or anything else that may be handy. The two things that Final Terror has going for it are the setting it was filmed in redwood forests of Califor--nia and the likewise scenic cast. Daryl Hanna, who recently played the winsome mermaid in Splash and the WASPish girlfriend in The Pope of Greenwich Village, and Rachel Ward, from television's The Thornbirds and the feature film Against All Odds, are two of the girls brought to the woods.

They also help each other out of some bad and unlikely situations. After her throat is cut by the slasher, Ms. Hanna is sewn miraculously back together by Ms. Ward, and she is up and walking about in no time.

Like that scene there is little sense, or tension, to The Final Terror. The who and why all this killing is occurring is never fully explained. Instead the answer is given in the credits, but not many people will stay around long enough to find out what just happened. for Po Folks includes Hushpuppies 2 Vegetables only 5r ADULT THEATRE BOOK STORE PJ's From B9- BROILED FRESH SWORDFISH MOW ONLY Monday, Oct. 8 through Thursday, Oct.

Now everything revolves around the life you are carrying. Your physical self is devoted to the task of nourishing and protecting the embryo. You stop drinking and smoking, change your diet, sleep more. All these things affect your husband too. And your emotional self is concerned with the future rather than the present.

As the weeks go by, you increasingly tend to be lost in dreams of what life with baby will be like. Everything else seems secondary to the miracle of creativity you are involved in. Even your husband. The only way to keep the Baby Drift within bounds is for wives to be more attentive to what husbands are going through. There is going to be a certain degree of drift once the baby arrives.

It is inevitable. But there need not be any drift during pregnancy if you will follow two simple guidelines. These two Antidrift Guidelines should stop it during pregnancy and keep it to a minimum after birth: Administer monster doses of LASA. LASA is composed of equal portions of Love, Attention, Sympathy and Appreciation. You cannot give him too much.

Coddle him when he complains of feeling poorly. Cuddle him when he acts helpless. Above all, do not criticize him. This is your chance to practice being maternal, just as your dependency during the first few weeks gave him a chance to rehearse the paternal role. Put your husband first.

Let him know that he is first in your heart and always will be. By words and deeds and attitudes, start your campaign of love and reassurance early in pregnancy so that he will not have a chance to feel insecure or jealous of the coming baby. It's important to maintain an active sex life during pregnancy. It is easier than you might think to get out of the habit of sex while you are waiting for the baby. This is a mistake, because sex is not only a joy, it is a wonderful emotional adhesive.

It mends all the little cracks and splits. The sexually satisfied husband is not going to drift far. It is also important, right from the beginning, to talk with him about the baby and start planning together. Read books on child care and development together. Discuss how you want to raise your child.

Keep your husband involved all the way. You may be planning to enroll in a childbirth class. Suggest that he join you. This is a marvelous way to get him involved, since the father-to-be has an important role as coach in the classes. He also gets to know other expectant fathers and this helps because he does not feel as if he is the only man in the world whose wife falls asleep at 9 p.m.

or wakes up at midnight with a craving for Roquefort on rye. And working with you makes him feel closer and more involved with the birth. Most husbands who attend these classes choose to be present during delivery, supervising their wife's breathing and helping her re-' lax between contractions, putting to use what they learned in class.
